can we mix fe2o3 + al +cr2o3 to get ruby ? in theory fe2o3 +al is a thermit reaction and should produce al2o3+fe and a lot of heat . al2o3 + cr2o3+heat=ruby

@@ElementalMaker It was a joke ,did you do video on how to make a potassium chlorate?Is there a way to make potassium nitrate(Kno3)for sugar rockets at home?

[@hubrisnaut]

​@@zumbazumba1 There is plenty of information on the internet about making the more stable stable potassium perchlorate with an electrolytic cell. To make potassium nitrate you would have to make nitric acid from concentrated ammonia first. Not easy but it can be done with the right lab equipment. You can also make it in traditional ways by using animal dung or urine. Under the right conditions, the precursor can potentially be collected from aged farm animal urine and dung leavings and from bat or bird guano. The Wikipedia entry on it has a good overview of the various processes. All that said, you could just buy it in small amounts for use in hobby rockets.

[@AJRestoration]

I made the same, but only with the sugar and potassium, and it made the same amount of smoke, you don't need all those other chemicals.

[@number6mbw]

For the first one, I add a bit of candle was to the mix to slow it down. Helps with melting it too. I reserve a bit without wax to surround the fuse to aid in ignition

[@Falconguygaming]

One of the newest mixes is with "TA" and can be made from PET. Military grade smoke from water bottles!

[@JasonVladimir]

Another interesting sho.! Thanks for sharing!

[@mute8s]

I had made some of the candy stuff with similar results. Then I decided to set off an old military smoke grenade that a family member had brought back from Vietnam which had much better results but smelled oddly similar to the candy smoke. It would be interesting to see you revisit this adding some paraffin and baking soda and something to try to get some color out of it. (My grenade was red and put an impressive stain on the ground)

[@Mikkelltheimmortal]

Looks like a nice slow burn and good for a smoke signal rather than a smoke screen

You can get a more uniform burn and quick start with the sugar mix by poking a hole larger than the fuse in the hot mixture, then adding a little Pyrodex in the hole after inserting the fuse.

[@DesertJeff]

I'm supposed to be out buying toilet paper. Instead I learn how to make a smoke screen to conceal myself buying the toilet paper. Good job. Love your videos. Keep them coming.

For smoke effect with r-candy you need to add sodium bicarbonate. It slows the burn rate and reduces the temperature.

[@SomeReefer]

You don't even need to heat up the mix. It will work just fine in powder form as long as it is mixed good. Either way just make sure there are no air pockets when filling a container with the finished mix.

A harmless version involves the first two chemicals and wax in proper proportions. The smoke is harmless and extremely thick, it's what's used in coloredcommercial fireworks you buy for kids to play in from a fireworks store. MUCH safer!

[@trulyinfamous]

Vaporised oil also makes for an excellent smoke screen. Pass cooking oil over a glowing hot wire and you can get think white smoke instantly. There is a risk of the cloud combusting though.

[@elektrobear2027]

Mixing paraffin with the rocket candy after you crush it works wonders as well.

[@davidwilliams3244]

"Not to mention the health risk but frankly that isn't the first on the list of concern to the military" 100% true.

Just don't make more than a few grams to start out and do some sensitivity tests with it if there are no reports about that particular mixture. Who knows if one chemical catalyses the other reaction, or something like that.

When the are thrown they land on their side and typically wouldn't rise quite as fast and could build a little better but that was a cool experiment

I used to make that stuff back ( KNO3 and powdered sugar mix) in the mid 60s... I used a 50/50 mix ( 1 lb sugar/ 1lb KNO3), the cost was 68 cents a pound for finished product.

I still get my kno3 for about 42 cents a pound! But that's definitely a rarity to find nowadays

"Basically making angry caramel." Priceless.

You should add a portion or a large portion to the molten mixture to speed up the second reaction, and set it off where there are no people or property around.

[@whynotdean8966]

From the title I thought this would be a gas mask thing for the corona views. Pleasantly surprised!

Fun tip: the perchlorate composition is pretty identical to the fuel mixture in NASA's solid rocket motors

[@Willam_J]

I thought you said ‘girdle’. It didn’t work and now my wife is pissed!!! 😂

[@ShootingUtah]

With the rcandy I usually add some water to the mix, then everything dissolves at a lower temperature. The water evaporates off and doesn't seem to change the way anything burns. And it keeps the mix white in color so you know the sugar hasn't caramelized much if at all. Maybe give it a try.

[@RangerOfTheOrder]

"Angry caramel" is a way better name for r-candy

[@jotapezanelatto]

Love u dude

[@jotapezanelatto]

[@ElementalMaker]

Is that a test tube in your pocket? LOL glad you enjoyed my friend

[@exhumed07]

If you leave the sugar and potassium nitrate as a powder and mix it with parafin wax, you will get a similar burn rate, and a lot more smoke. You would have to play with the ratio of wax.

[@K.I.T]

Adding paraffin wax to the r candy mix greatly increases the smoke output and duration :)

[@peanutbutterhero4486]

"Tech ingredients" has a video about this that is worth checking out

[@alexdougal7729]

The British Army still uses that composition for screening smoke, though signal smokes are normally used due to it being safer. It has been known for the screening smoke composition youre using to be used to clear out buildings..

[@ElementalMaker]

Wow very cool to know its still in use! 👍

[@freehat2722]

Maybe a mix like Aquafresh and loose rocks with holes in the sides of the container. Maybe do an impact one. Thanks for the demo.

[@kilovoltamp]

In the past I've made the Sugar/KNO₃ mix dry with roughly similar performance (for smoke clouds anyways, the burn was slower but that might just be the narrow PVC I used) since I was worried about the reaction starting in the pot. Seems like there's no good reason to cook it if you're not going for rocket fuel.

[@OrudoVansan]

I wonder how the sugar rocket would perform as a powder instead of a solid?

[@aronbraswell1589]

could you try stump remover powdered mixed with silicone caulking for a smoke bomb? I've been told safe mix with no heating but same great smoke effect. Also was told that outdoor grade paint and stump remover works well. Both recipes call for mix to fully dry or cure before lighting.

[@Mullgen]

I played around with the sugar one quite a bit as a kid, what you have to do is add some kind of retarding agent to the mix because without it it's just a rocket as you know it's a very very fine line between slowing it down enough to actually ignite, and just turning it into a rocket. if I recall correctly dextrin what what I ended up using based off some old trials I dug up I want to say something like 10% Dextrin 50% PN 25% sucrose 15% baking soda Just a thought, this was at least a decade ago and I honestly don't remember it all too well.
